well, guys, i feel good that we've represented the risks of not only biplanes here but generalizations as well
on another note i think bipes are just about the most beautiful planes. from stearmans to staggerwings to ultimates, there's a lot of golden era in them. i am always looking for the next best bipe and my dream plane is a bipe with a big radial engine. something like a PT-17 with a seidel.
if anything, i understand the allure of a bipe.
